Is there a way to join two anchor points in InDesign?

I can't have everything I have in Illusdtrator in InDesign but... for the life of me, is there a way to join two anchor points that are one of top of the other, the way Illustrator allows it with the Join command?

 

Here's a case where I have two arcs :

For illustrative purposes, I only selected the bottom anchor point with the Direct selection tool. 

Then, from the Pathfinder palette, I click the "Join" tool :

I was expecting the tool to draw a Bezier line between the two anchor points but that's not what it did?! 

It behave like Illustrator "Join" tool by "averaging" the two anchoir points first, I guess, and then join them?

Amazing...

Object > Paths > Join menu

There is no keyboard assigned but you can assign one if you wish.

Thanks David... So, in a way, InDesign does this "better" than Illustrator? In that the user does not have to specifically select the two end points and especially, as in my case, when the two end points happened to be perfectly superimposed, the Join command has the smarts to analyse each anchor points position and merge those that share the same position... Neat... I should have asked the question before 😉 I owe you one 🙂
